Elderflower Champagne 2010
Spent this morning picking 70 to 90 Elderflower heads with the family from the hedgerows at the back of Addenbrooks and Long Road.
The heads vary in size wildly so this time I decided to weigh them after trimming. Which was 0.5kg
I also upped the recipe to 1.5 times last years as we had so many flower heads
Which is 0.5kg of Flower heads (70 -90 flowerheads) (3/4 carrier bag)
6 Lemons grated and squeezed.
1.5kg of sugar.
3.25 galleons of water. (Should be 3.75 but my bucket could only do 3.25)
3/8 of white wine vinegar. (90ml)
measured the Specific Gravity as 1.030
